I updated my firmware now nothing works...

Steam does not load (have to reload it 5 times)... and every new site i open has a dns error. 

I know this issue already after fighting with it and solved it with 6to4 tunel. 

I am an absolute noob and i dont know what i am doing with all this settings... i dont know what they mean and i dont know what they do. 

 

i bought an expansive router and now i have to infest my freaking freetime to understand all that bs! 

Also why just upload the beta in the download section. NO you have to login. 

I tried my password 4 times... slowly ... did not work... reset the password... type in new password (ohhh password is old try a new one) 

Is anything working with this company. 


Please just send me the beta or tell me if the update will be released in the next weeks so i dont have to learn how to manually install a firmware (and prob. learn how to roll back to an old firmware because nothing netgear is releasing works) 

sry 4 being so angry but i really have enough of it now. 



(i also used a pihole - yeah only follewed youtubetutorials and installed it somehow and get it to work... it worked well until i first updated the firmware of the router. because i am a noob i thought it is an issue with pihole. so i wasted weeks without thinking about the router... later i found out it was of course the routerfirmwareupdate. solved it - as already told - with 4to6 tunel option.
Oh god i wasted so much time on this already... just give me something that works. Its 2023 - all i want is freaking working internet on my Windows pc (Every other android tablet, phone, mac, ... works!)

Thank you

    What model router do you have? 

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

     

    Iv'e switched to 6rd for any IPv6 tunneling configurations. I use Hurricane Electric.
